What’s Farm Camp Like

He does it with his hands, by experience, first in play and then through work. The hands are the instruments of man’s intelligence. –Maria Montessori

The daily flow of camp is determined by the natural needs of the farm – animals require care, vegetables are ready to be harvested, structures need repair. Campers take on a meaningful, hands-on role as they work and play side by side with adults, each with value in the community and an opportunity to discover new interests and passions.
